Microbial community structure is affected by phage-resistance associated increases in host density

The paper shows that phage resistance in Variovorax sp. increases host density, altering microbial community structure by reducing conspecific density.

The inflammatory micro-environment induced by targeted CNS radiotherapy is underpinned by disruption of DNA methylation

This study shows that targeted CNS radiotherapy disrupts DNA methylation and induces neuroinflammation through epigenetic changes in brain tissue and cerebral organoids.

Does Zipf's law of abbreviation shape birdsong?

This paper examines Zipf's law of abbreviation in birdsong using a new method and finds weak trends consistent with the law in most populations, but weaker correlations compared to human languages.

Phylogeny and Metadata Network Database for Epidemiologic Surveillance

The paper creates a graph database to integrate SARS-CoV-2 phylogenetic trees, metadata, and surveillance data for phylodynamic analysis.

3D Visualisation of trans-syncytial nanopores provides a pathway for paracellular diffusion across the human placental syncytiotrophoblast

The paper identifies trans-syncytial nanopores in the placental syncytiotrophoblast as pathways for paracellular diffusion, supported by 3D visualization and mathematical modeling.

Torsin ATPases influence chromatin interaction of the Torsin regulator LAP1

This study shows that Torsin ATPases regulate LAP1's chromatin interaction, affecting mitotic chromosome segregation and nuclear morphology.

Characterising a stable five-species microbial community for use in experimental evolution and ecology.

The paper reports the stable coexistence of a five-species microbial community derived from soil microbes, demonstrating long-term stability and species identification through plate morphologies.

The novel reversible LSD1 inhibitor SP-2577 promotes anti-tumor immunity in SWItch/Sucrose-NonFermentable (SWI/SNF) complex mutated ovarian cancer

This study shows that the LSD1 inhibitor SP-2577 enhances anti-tumor immunity and PD-L1 expression in SWI/SNF-mutated ovarian cancer models.

The cell cycle regulator GpsB functions as cytosolic adaptor for multiple cell wall enzymes

This study identifies GpsB as a cytosolic adaptor that coordinates cell wall synthesis with the bacterial cell cycle by interacting with multiple enzymes and proteins.
